Someone pointed this out to me, I can't help but pass it on. Not only is the description hilarious, but the questions and answers are a pure joy to read. :D Argos-Pro-Action-Sydney-1-man-Tent-Classic Have fun, Tony

We had a wonderful trip today. I led two scouts and a father on this hike. This is the first time the father hiked in the Cats. We parked at the Big Hollow Ttrail Head and hit the trail about 10:30. The day was warm and sunny. The route for today was Black Dome trail => Batavia Kill Tr =>...

Quick question... It looks like I'll be able to sneak in a quick hike this weekend (June 4-5). I've been drooling over the trap dike to Mount Colden for a couple of years, and I am considering it this weekend. Is there snow/ice still in play this early in the season? If so, I'll probably...

I'm starting to plan some trips for this summer. One of the pure, unadulterated peak bagging excursions on the list will be a three day Great Range jaunt in the Dak's. One of the potential routes would include a climb up the south side of Haystack after spending the night in Panther Gorge...

In the never ending struggle to go lighter, I'm about to get my first hammock and a new pad. I've seen the recent threads on these two items individually, but I'm wondering about the combination. Do hammock users also use a pad? If so, what type? Thanks! Tony

Our group is looking at doing the slide mountain loop in a couple of weeks. We'll probably get there after dark Friday night and I'm wondering where we might be able to hike in a bit and set up just off the trail for the night. The Panther mountain trail has a leanto .6 miles from the parking...

I'm starting to plan a trip for next summer to the dacks. Right now I'm considering the great range traverse region. I have a several year old version of the HP trail guide, only shelters are on the maps, not campsites. How does one find out where the designated campsites are? I assume one...

We are heading out in the morning for a three day trip to the MacIntyre Range. We will be renting snowshoes for a couple of the group members. Tother group members have traditional wood frame shoes, Bearpaw and Maine styles. I've never used these in the mountains, will they work or should we...
